1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion
and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria —
the notable people in this first of the nations,
those the house of Israel comes to.
2 Cross over to Calneh and see;
go from there to great Hamath;
then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are you better than these kingdoms?
Is their territory larger than yours?
3 You dismiss any thought of the evil day
and bring in a reign of violence.
4 They lie on beds inlaid with ivory,
sprawled out on their couches,
and dine on lambs from the flock
and calves from the stall.
5 They improvise songs[fn] to the sound of the harp
and invent[fn] their own musical instruments like David.
6 They drink wine by the bowlful
and anoint themselves with the finest oils
but do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7 Therefore, they will now go into exile
as the first of the captives,
and the feasting of those who sprawl out
will come to an end.
8 The Lord GOD has sworn by himself — this is the declaration of the LORD, the God of Armies:
I loathe Jacob’s pride
and hate his citadels,
so I will hand over the city and everything in it.
9 And if there are ten men left in one house, they will die. 10 A close relative[fn] and burner[fn] will remove his corpse[fn] from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, “Any more with you? ”
That person will reply, “None.”
Then he will say, “Silence, because the LORD’s name must not be invoked.”
11 For the LORD commands:
The large house will be smashed to pieces,
and the small house to rubble.
12 Do horses gallop on the cliffs?
Does anyone plow there with oxen?[fn]
Yet you have turned justice into poison
and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood —
13 you who rejoice over Lo-debar
and say, “Didn’t we capture Karnaim
for ourselves by our own strength? ”
14 But look, I am raising up a nation
against you, house of Israel —
this is the declaration of the Lord,
the GOD of Armies —
and they will oppress you
from the entrance of Hamath[fn]
to the Brook of the Arabah.[fn]
